Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav visited Ayodhya to attend a Bhagwat event organized by party leader Pawan Pandey. Sharing the stage with local saints, Yadav engaged in discussions marking a clear Sanatan and general caste outreach, particularly targeting Brahmin voters alongside the existing PDA campaign. The move highlights a growing contest over Hindutva messaging between the Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The party stated that Ram Mandir darshan will follow the Kedareshwar Temple inauguration.
